I find:


Hide Latex Command Style:
INS DEL Regexp:
            Style: %(PDF)%(latex) %(file-line-error) %(extraopts)
%S%(PDFout)
INS
    State : STANDARD.
   List of style options and LaTeX commands. Hide...



UPDATE:
My main file ends with

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-command-extra-options: "-src-specials -recorder -shell-escape"
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:


and now the log file shows:


Running `LaTeX' on `manualLatexMavenPlugin' with ``pdflatex 
-file-line-error -src-specials -recorder-shell-escape  --synctex=1
-interaction=nonstopmode "\input" manualLatexMavenPlugin.tex''
pdflatex: unrecognized option '-recorder-shell-escape'
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014)
(preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 Source specials enabled.
entering extended mode


So the blank between -recorder and -shell-escape seems to be ignored.
How can this be?
And how to explain that the behavior changed???
